Answered Question - Disney Parks Moms Panel

My 8 year old is afraid of e ticket rides, my 4 year old wants to ride everything. Can she wait for us on the bench next to the cast members while we ride the ride? We had a friend who chickened out on Splash Mountain before and did this. Thanks!

I'm sorry to say she really can't sit on the bench with a cast member, however, since your four year old seems to love riding rides, perhaps your 8 year old may want to start riding too. Perhaps start on a smaller ride so your 8 year old can see how much fun it can be to ride with mom. If you have another person in your party you could always do a ride swap, and so everyone can ride the ride. My oldest was like that but believe it or not she grew out of it. Now she torments me, by dragging me on rides, that make my head spin like the Rock N Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios. Have a great time. Heather M.
